SIR JAMES WHITNEY.
It is a matter of general rejoicing
in Ontario that Sir James Whitney
was able to again take his place in the
House at the closing ceremonies on
Friday night. He has been fully re-
stored to health. During his recent.
severe illness, great tributes were paid
to this fearless statesman and almost.
every church offered up their prayers
for his restoration. Regardless of
politics, everyone is delighted to know
that he has again assumFd the duties
of Prime Minister. The following.
which appeared editorially in the
Toronto Evening News of Tuesday
evening, expresses the feeling of one
and all :—
"It is true of Sir James Whit-
ney, if it ever was true of any
political leader, that "one blast
upon his bugle horn• were worth
a thousand men." He is a strong
fortress of integrity. He is • pro-
gressive and resolute, careless
alike of the frown of powerful
interests or the threat of preda-
tory partisans. For nine years
he has been writing in Ontario
the best chapter in Canadian
political history. Under his ad-
ministration, there has been no
electoral scandal. There has been
neither waste nor jobbery in the
departments, There ' have been
advances in social and industrial
legislation which give the Pro-
vince very honorable standing
with the progressive communities
of the continent. It is cheering,
therefore, to Conservatives, and
to thousands of Liberals also, to
know that his public career has
not ended and•that he will captain
the Conservative party in the next
Provincial election."

The Mayor again brought up the
question of printing and euggested
that it he pieced in the hands of a
committee, CLuuneilior Elliott stared
that he had no nt j-ctions wbittever to
a committee being appointed and that
since rhe Council bed last met, he bad
written to many towns in four dif
ferent counties of this section and he
found that in each and every town the
prices paid for municipal printing
were higher than in the town of
Wingham. Comparison was made
as to the amount paid for printiug of
1914 and preceeding years and it was
pointed out by the town Clerk that he
had bought in large quantities, there
getting it cheaper, and, that their
were plenty of supplies on hand in
some electric light forms that would
do possibly three or four years. It
was moved by Currie and Young that
the Executive committee have charge
of printing—carred.
The Mayor pointed out the differ•
erenoe in the price of the Voter's Liet
for last year and previous years. Last
year the Voter's List consisted of forty
pages, and the rate paid was that set
by the Huron County Press Associa-
tion, $1,40 per page. This made the
amount which was paid $56. There
was then considerable discussion as to
getting things in shape so that the
rate could he struck soon. The Coun-
cil then adjourned..

Globe Editor Is
Right dor Once
Looking at the Canadian North-
ern deal as a business proposition,
it is surely reasonable to ivsiet
that the people who take the finan-
cial risk of establishing a',wiitiese
should have the largest interest in
it and the determining voice in
conducting its affairs. Applying
this principle to the fleet, 1•-r., us .ee
what Mackenzie & Mann and the
people of Canada respectively have
put into the buildiug of the C N. R.
system and what they take out.
Sir William Matrkenzie and Fir
Donald Manu have put in the
greater part of their time for
eleven or twelve years on the pro-
ject. They have not put in a
dollar of their own money. It
has been frequently asserted that
they have taken out much money
in the form of construction profits
obtained by awarding contracts to
themselves without calling for ten-
ders in competition. Under the
deal now proposed by Mr, Borden
they take out sixty million dollars'
worth of stock and retain control of
the company, because they have
the power to appoint all the direc-
tors except one.
What have the people of Canada
put into the road and what do
they take out? In their capacity as
Canadians, and through the Do-
minion Government, they have put
in 828,354,000 in the form of cash
subsidies to railways now incorpor-
ated in the C.N. R. system. They
have put in over four 'million acres
of land worth at the lowest valu-
ation over $20,00(1,000, and they
have guaranteed—or will guaran-
tee under the deal—bonds totalling
$ l04r74G,000.
But these c•aloasal stint + are only
a part of what the people have put
into the C. N. R. system. The
i'roviorei have been drawn upon
to an artleing extent. Ontario heels
given two million acres of land $ •.
825,001) in cam!, arilaa'dtes, and
$7,8650,000 in bond guarantees.
Qnebeo has given $3 502,000 in
cash subsidies. Manitoba has put
up $641,000 in cash and assumed
the enormous obligation of guaran-
teeing bonds for $24,408,000. Sas-
katchewan is down for $8,258,966
in bond guarantees, Alberta for
$8,719,000, and British Columbia
fur $33,175,000.
What the
do le of Canada
people p
get iu return for these huge out-
pourings of cash, credit, and land ?
They get comMon stock of the face
value of $40,000,000, but which
may never pay any dividends, ah&'
certainly will not do so for many
years. They get the right to ap-
point one director on the C. N. R.
Board, while Mackenzie & Mann,
by virtue of their ownership of
$60,000,000 of common stock, ap-
point all th.e other directors. And
that is all the .people get for over
8200,000,000 in cash and credit
put into the C. N. R.
Your individual share of the cash
and credit put in—averaged over
the country—has been $25. Your
individual share of the ownership
is 85 in common stock that may
never pay a dividend. That is the
bargain Mr. Bordeu has made -as
your representative.— [Globe Edi-
torial of May 4th.]
Tory Paper Advises
The Orangeville Sun, a good
Tory paper, showing streaks of
independence through the blue, bas
this to Fay of the C. N. R. deal and
its member John Best.
It would be utter nonsense to
say that the action of the Borden
Governmeut in dealing with the
Canadian Northern Railway is sat-
isfactory to the people. It looks
like a big fall down by the Govern-
ment, and we say all honor to
Messrs. Bennett, Nickle, and
Burnham for walking out of the
caucus room. They couldn't
stomach the deal. Puddin'-head
John Best of,Dufferin should have
walked out also, but didn't. We
are safe in saying that ninety-nine
per cent. of the farmers of this
county are against granting an-
other copper .to Mackenzie & Mann,
who have already got millions of
the people's money. .A.11 the pre-
liminary boating and blowing
u the t how o Gu ernm
v ant would
handle Mackenzie & Mann seems
to have been just so much stage -
play. Let a, itnmber i.f C,anerva-
tive papers conte out flat-footed in
condemning this particular part of
the Government policy and Mr,
Borden and his Finance Minister,
Mr. White, might back up and
handle this question as Messrs.
Bennett, Nickle and Burnham did.
They are good Conservatives, but,
liketrue men, they have placedcoun-
try before party. Parliament
would be justified in holding up
this piece of legislation. It would
be high treason against the people
for the Borden Government to give
Mackenzie & Mann another cent."
Death of Howick Pioneer -
Word has been received of the death
of Mr. Alexander Graham of the tenth
con'eseion of Howick. The funeral
took placenta Wednesday. Mr.Grahanl

Death of T. flingston.
Brusselites were greatly an' to ict ti
yesterday afternoon on learning of
the demise of Itir. r
Steell T. 11{ngetc h, tt
inetnber of one of the (fret families Of
this neighborhood, In the early part

Wingham Dry.
On Friday, May 1st, our citizens
awoke in a dry town. Scott Act does
not come into forco until May 1st 1915,
but in the interval, we are unlicensed
territory. South Huron and Centre
Huron have been given three months
extention, but the North, none. This
is thought to be most unfair by many
of our citizens, but there are three
different boards of commiseioners, and
many men have many minds.
Now that Wingham is dry, it be-
hooves our citizens, one and all, to
adapt themselves to the new con-
ditions and to see that no matter what
law we are under, that all are law
abiding citizens. The Advance has no
fear that there will be "blind pigs" in
Wingham, because our citizens all
respect the law, It is altogether like-
ly that all of our hotels will remain
open and that ample accommodation
will ho given to the travelling public.
Ir was thought that the last few
days and particularly the last night,
that there would be considerable revel-
ry in town, but much to the credit of
our•hotel keepers, the last day and the
last night passed off very quietly.
When some fromneigh g
Sorin towns
s
appeared as though they were going
to he noisy, some of our hotels im-
mediately closed the bars, not desiring
auy tuwdyrern around their hotels.
When we consider the financial loss to
our hotel keepers, they have accepted
the change with extremely good nat-
ure and have bowed to public senti-
ment and are willing to make the bee t
of new conditions. 11 they find they
cannot make a house pay, they will of
course of necessity close, so it behoov-
es all of our citizens to assist men,
who are striving against great odds to
give the strangers within our gates
accomodation.
A Letter Of Apology.
Mr. Christian Johann,
Township of Howick.
I regret that at meeting of
the ehareholders of the South Bruce
Telephone Company held at Formosa
on the 1S -h of March instant, on ac-
count of having hurriedly examined
the books kept by you showing your
dealings with the above Company, I
wrongfully charged you with having
improperly used the funds of the Com-
pany.
On further examination, it is
quits clear that 1 was wrong and that
you had made no improper use of. the
Company's moneys, the items that I
then referred to having been erased
and never having been n added in the
total of the column, clearly showing
that they .bad been entered by mis-
take and the mistake rectified long
armee.
l therefore wholly retract what
I said and aresg again ex
g exprets my regret at
having wrongfully charged you as
above set forth and hope that those
( who heard ins will accept this state-
ment as being true.
Dated this 30th day of April, 1014,

ANDREW BRODER, M. 1'.
The above is Mr. Andrew Broder,
M.P,,,who is waging war againet the
deadly cigarette. He introduced a
bill to prohibit the importation and
sale of same. During the session
much expert evidence has been given
showing the in'quitous Effect of nico-
tine poisoning from cigarettes upon
the youth of Canada. Tens'bf thou-
sands of young men in Canada have
been stunted physically, dwarfed mer. -
tally and sapped morally through
these coffin naile. The Advance be-
lieves that more injury has been
wrought young men by cigarettes
than by bars and sincerely hopes that
Ow time will soon come when they
will be no more. Mr. Broder deserves
unstinted praise from every parent in
Canada.
